Over 30 years of retirement, Rose would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Rose received $25,061 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rose will have already received $77,461 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
